What size unit is sufficient for my home?
Determining the appropriate unit size for your home involves considering multiple factors such as square footage, insulation quality, and local climate conditions.

However, this frequency may need adjustment based on factors like pet ownership, allergy concerns, and local air quality conditions. Our team can provide personalized recommendations based on your specific circumstances.What is the average lifespan of an air conditioning unit?
A well-maintained air conditioning unit typically operates effectively for 10 to 15 years. Consistent servicing and prompt repairs play a crucial role in extending the unit's lifespan and preserving its efficiency throughout its operational period.Are the two owners brothers?
While we are not biologically related, we consider ourselves family and have formed a strong partnership as business owners.Do I need to perform maintenance on my air conditioning system?
Regular maintenance is essential for ensuring the longevity and efficiency of your air conditioning system. We recommend scheduling professional maintenance at least annually to optimize performance, prevent potential breakdowns, and potentially reduce energy consumption and associated costs.What is Freon and how often does my system need to be charged up?
Freon is a type of refrigerant used in air conditioning systems. A properly functioning system should not require frequent recharging. If your system needs regular Freon replenishment, it may indicate a leak that requires attention. Our technicians can inspect your system and address any refrigerant-related issues.What is a heat pump?
A heat pump is a versatile HVAC system capable of both heating and cooling your home. It functions by transferring heat from the outdoor air to the interior during colder months and reversing this process in warmer periods. This dual functionality allows for energy-efficient comfort throughout the year.Is a gas furnace or heat pump better?
The choice between a gas furnace and a heat pump depends on several factors including your local climate, energy costs, and individual preferences. Gas furnaces generally produce warmer air output, while heat pumps offer both heating and cooling capabilities. Our experts can assist you in determining the most suitable option for your specific circumstances.If I turn my thermostat lower does it make the air come out to be colder?
Adjusting your thermostat to a lower setting does not affect the temperature of the air coming from your vents. Instead, it causes your system to operate for a longer duration until the desired temperature is achieved. The air from the vents maintains a constant temperature during system operation.What sub-contracting services do you offer?
